How do you solve a problem like....Misti

We all love my dear wife very much. I especially do, because I don't know any other husband that can be with her for an extended amount of time, free of charge, see her in bed the entire time, have 24/7 non-stop care, no kids, eat out or in, new nightgown on request, room service, and drugs on demand. Can life get any better? I THINK NOT!


She is a remarkable person no matter what they said or what Mis thinks they said while high on morphine. She is one hotty that likes to go to the potty. That was the problem, actually, she had some issues with her "intestinal friends". She had an extreme issue with "pouchitis". This isn't a fear of being near a pouch or anything like that, but an infection in her "pouch". It was made from some small intestine they had lying around after her surgery a number of years ago. At first they thought it was a parasite:











But it ended up being just infected. Really swollen. Her sister eating Haggis in Scotland came to mind:















She is all better now, thank goodness! Good old anti-bacteria medicine took care of it. She is alive and well. The song from "The Sound of Music" came to mind, but she is a problem totally worth having in our lives. Not even a problem at all, a blessing. Please pray for her, that her bowels may be clean and pure, that her loins may be girded up (especially with the hospital gowns...not very lady like), and may all of her good bacteria cease to be idle but be doing good, may she scope her future with dignity and in the end....well, may she always be with us. We love you Mis/Mom

Those pictures are disgusting. Misti is one of a kind. She has to be to put up with 5 boys in her house and still have the cleanest and nicest smelling house on the street.

I keep leaving comments on people's blogs in my brother's names. Duh! That is what you get when we all share a computer here at the old pop's house.
It's just me, Amanda:)
